What is Live Preview Feature in Microsoft Word 2007?

Live Preview:

Live preview is a new and exciting feature introduced in Word 2007. It allows you to view the result of selecting an option from a drop-down list or gallery prior to applying it. With the Live Preview feature, you need not select each and every option to find the right one. You can simply place the mouse over each of the options and see a preview of the effect that the selection of an option will cause. When you place the mouse away from the option, the live preview of that option will disappear.

Figure-1 shows that some text is selected and Figure-2 shows a live preview of selecting a font size of 24 for the selected text.
